This subject combines two traditionally separate areas of study: the sociology of work and organisational theory, and falls into three parts. After a brief historical introduction, which examines the origins and peculiarities of modern work organisations, we review the main theoretical approaches to organisational life. The final extended section focuses on a selection of critical contemporary issues, including organisational design, new technology, restructuring, flexibility, and organisational culture.
No offerings have been identified for this subject in 2018.
